ATLAC lands on Desolat with ‘Handclap’ EP
Share
ATLAC makes his Desolat debut on 27th February 2026 with the ‘Handclap’ EP, and we have the premiere of ATLAC’s ‘Handclap’.
Out via Desolat, the Venetian riser steps onto one of the scene’s most respected imprints with a tight two-tracker built for impact. It is a big move. And he sounds ready for it.
After turning heads with support from Joseph Capriati, Cloonee, Dennis Cruz and Wade, plus outings on MUSE and Criterio Music, ATLAC has been edging toward this moment. The productions have been getting sharper. The grooves are heavier. The intent is clearer.
ATLAC’s ‘Handclap’ wastes no time. Skippy hats. Rolling low end. A hook that locks in early and does not let go. The rhythm swings slightly off centre, giving it that loose but controlled feel that works in basements and on wider festival systems alike. It is built around tension and pay off, simple idea, executed properly.
On the flip, ‘Smokin On’ leans harder into peak-time territory. Thick bass pressure. Warped vocal snippets. A drop that keeps pushing without overplaying its hand. This is the one for when the room is already moving and you want to tighten the grip.
Desolat has always backed records with character. This fits.
We are premiering ATLAC’s ‘Handclap’ ahead of the full release. Lock in below and grab the EP when it lands on 27th February.
